CHICKEN MEATBALLS OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine the ground chicken with the garlic, egg, bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, dried basil, oregano, pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
• Mix with clean hands until just combined - do not overmix.
• Shape the mixture into meatballs that are 1-inch in size - or slightly less, about 24.
• Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• Add the meatballs in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches), browning on all sides, cooking about 5 to 6 minutes in total. You don’t need to cook them fully because we will put them in the oven - just brown them.
• Transfer the meatballs to a plate.
• In the same skillet over medium heat, add the shallots and garlic with a pinch of salt and stir.
• Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the white wine, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
• Let it simmer for 2 minutes. Add in the sliced lemons and chicken stock.
• Add the meatballs back into the pan.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through to 165 degrees F.
• Serve on sandwiches or with pasta, rice or your favorite vegetable.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Lightly spray a non-stick baking sheet with oil.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, panko crumbs, egg, scallions, celery, carrot and garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Using clean hands, mix until combined. Roll the mixture (1/8 cup each) into 26 round meatballs.
• Place meatballs onto prepared baking sheet and bake until cooked through and golden, about 16 to 18 minutes.
• Place the meatballs in a bowl, add the buffalo sauce and gently toss to combine.
• Serve immediately, drizzled with blue cheese dressing, if desired.
